And what is there to think - not a beautiful monument . But even on a bad jiving monument to Pope John Paul II hand does not rise even among atheists . Man is , like, a decent , though rush to attributing it to the list of saints and miracles showing up in this context , cause , to put it mildly surprised .

although rush to attributing it to the list of saints and miracles showing up in this context , cause , to put it mildly surprised .

In fact, to distinguish the process of chargeability to the ranks of the blessed ( beatified ) and the saints ( canonized ) .
For canonization requires four documented miracle that occurred through the prayers of the faithful righteous dead , for the beatification - the two.
There were , no doubt .

I think that in this case, the sculptor had to be set aside out their creative ambitions and focus on the personality of Pope, for his people and people to him.
But no.

Two years ago, was vacationing in Croatia , visited Rijeka and, in particular , bothered to climb the hill ( can not remember the name ) , which preserved 15 th century Franciscan monastery . There, on the territory of the monastery is a modest statue of the Pope . Calm facial features , eyes half-closed , an outstretched hand , polished by tourists and pilgrims . Dad there as live, humanized sculptor . In 2003, the pope held a mass at the Cathedral on the monastery , when visiting Croatia . After this, there have decided to commemorate this event . Unfortunately , no pictures .

The New York Times compares the opening of the monument with vernissage by Damien Hirst .
Already mayoral commission established, the subject of the proceedings and decisions of the fate of the statue .
Although , despite the fact that the commission only just at the stage of creation , the fate of the monument, which the Deputy Minister of Culture of Italy Maria Giro called "a manifesto of ugliness , appears doomed.

​​Italian sculptor Oliviero Rinaldi said he was disappointed that his artistic vision was not understood ,
 and expressed regret that people do not understand his plan ....

Well, would not it design of the monument , an architectural commission in Rome did not discuss it and not be criticized,
 community organizations and personally Mayor of Rome Gianni Alemanno stood with his back to this issue ? ? >

Or sculptor Oliviero Rinaldi personally and secretly from all the inhabitants of Rome
 per night and found 5- meter statue of a pick-me- only He, a sculptor , a place ... ? >

And that is true , but public outrage is easier to send the head of the sculptor than to share with him responsibility for what happened after all the projects and approvals .

Perhaps the sculptor had to be persuaded , and finally succeeded in convincing those who made ​​the decision , and now they keep quiet .
